📍Kaohsiung Martyrs’ Shrine
Address: No. 32, Zhongyi Rd, Gushan District, Kaohsiung
📍高雄忠烈祠
地址:高雄市鼓山區忠義路32號
The shrine is accessible from either National Sun Yat-sen University or Kaohsiung MRT’s Sizihwan Station.
從國立中山大學校園或者高雄捷運西子灣站均可步行到達高雄忠烈祠。
However, the entire route is going uphill. So, you’re not used to walk uphill (for a long period of time), you might want to rent a scooter;-)
不過忠烈祠位於壽山上,多為上坡路。為了省力的話,可租輛電動車,當地人那樣騎行上、下山:)


The original structure was built as a Shinto shrine during the Japanese rule of Taiwan and demolished in 1972 when Japan established the diplomatic tie with the PRC. The current building was re-built in 1978.
The Great Hall houses the spirit tablets of revolution martyrs of the ROC.
忠烈祠建築物原為日本神社,建於日據時期。1972年中日建交後,建築物被毀。現建築物重建於1978年,主殿內供有“國民革命烈士之靈位”。

The hall is flanked on both sides by the verandas. On one side, the photographs on the wall narrate the historic figures (e.g. Dr. Sun Yat-sen) and events that led to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China (ROC).
On the other side, the photos outline key events during the Second Sino-Japanese War, including the Marco Polo Bridge Incidents (1937), the Battle of Shanghai (1937), the Battle of West Hunan (1945), General He Yingqin representing the Chinese government to accept the surrender of Japanese troops in China (1945).
主殿的兩側為側廊。一側以歷史照片介紹清末秋瑾烈士、黃花崗烈士等反清革命志士和國父孫中山建中國同盟會、武昌起義、建立中華民國等歷史。
另一側介紹抗日戰爭中的主要戰役,如七七事變、八一三淞滬會戰、湘西會戰等。以及抗戰勝利時,何應欽將軍代表中國政府接受日軍投降。

📍壽山情人觀景臺

❤️💗😍😻😹

Shoushan Love Lookout, one of Kaohsiung’s hotspots for photographers, is just outside of the shrine. From here, one can have a panoramic view of the cityscape and the harbor.
高雄的該處攝影熱點就位於忠烈祠外,在此可以遠眺市區天際線和高雄港灣。
